The Advanced Processor Technologies Group

The Advanced Processor Technologies (APT) group researches advanced and novel approaches to processing and computation. The group is based in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester where research into computer technology began more than 50 years ago with the construction of the world's first stored-program computer. Today the emphasis of the research is on identifying novel ways to exploit the formidable complexity of the billion transistor microchips that semiconductor technology will make commonplace over the next decade.

The APT group welcomes approaches from potential postgraduate students who are interested in studying for an MPhil or PhD with the group (see our Postgraduate Opportunities page to identify the relevant academic contacts), and we are keen to identify companies and other academic groups who are interested in collaborating with us in our research programmes. Current and recent APT projects include:
